Logitech G29
PC and PS4 compatible.The force feedback is decent but based on old technology and is noisy.Good fully metal pedals.The official price for this wheel is $400 but this is too much,I do not recommend buying it if it costs more than $250.You can buy additional shifter.

Thrustmaster T300RS
PC and PS4 compatible.Impressive force feedback for its price but there is a big flaw,reliability.The pedals are the same as the T150,you can upgrade them later.

I would reluctantly consider jumping ship from Logitech to Thrustmaster if the paddle is bi-directional. Would love to find out because a quality rally rim would be incredible. The buttons on the G29 face wind up getting in the way during enthusiastic steering inputs. Sometimes it’s like DUR...I didn’t exactly want to exit the game in the middle of a hairpin...

Depends on what you like to drive in your preferred sim. For me the larger the rim the better. Most real world race cars are 310mm or 330mm so it would better replicate what's being used by the real deal.

Have you considered a wheel with fixed paddles?

I find that the T500 is very handy for rally due to the fixed shifters, so you always know where up and down are. You can also buy a fixed shifter set for all Fanatec wheels, to get the same result.

Alternatively, people run with a shifter for Sequential gears and either another shifter or a dedicated handbrake for the handbrake. The Thrustmaster TH8A can be used in analog handbrake mode (only on PC) when attached via USB, Fanatec wheels come with two shifter plugs to allow for using both the sequential shifter and Fanatec's dedicated handbrake at the same time.

Didn't find it, what is this rim weight? Does this new rim have button mapping for PS4 and is fully compactible with GTS? Already own T300 + alacantara 30 cm but this could be my next investment on gear.

Edit. Yes it have full button mapping for PS4 and on Thrustmaster's site a picture of that.

So good news the sparco partnership won’t end with the 383. It is even more interesting it suggest a 2 in 1 product as a solution to there being only 1 plug. Sparco does have some nice shifting knobs. I’m curious how the design will be.

It looks like you can replace the wheel easily with real wheel rims because of the larger button box. That would make it even more interesting!

True, lots of space for different styles to fit on there, and no d-pad to worry about either. Much better than the 458, but quite a bit more expensive too. The 6 bolts look like the usual TM 58mm PCD, so would still need a PCD adapter to use a pre-drilled rim. Also, I wonder how essential those extra 4 bolts are at keeping the case from flexing when you press buttons.

I used that code for a discount on the 599 alacantra add on. They still havent even shipped it despite being 6 days ago and in stock. Thrustmaster need to pull their finger out, customer service is crap.
